Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Elixir G
  • 2 teaspoons minced lemongrass
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed and chilled lemon juice
  • 16 ounces ginger ale
  • Ice
  • 1 cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, Elixer G, lemongrass and zest. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Cool then chill. When ready to serve, strain simple syrup and lemon juice into a 2-quart pitcher. Mix in the ginger ale. Place a few ice cubes in 4 (16-ounce) glasses. Put a 1/4 cup of the mint in each glass, top with a couple more ice cubes and muddle. Fill the rest of the glasses with ice, and pour in lemonade mixture. Chug!

    Elixir G recipe - only rated it average because I haven't made it yet - just including some help!

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    According to the program, Guy said you could make your own simple syrup "ginger concentrate or ginger sweet syrup" by mixing... together a little ginger, crush it up, hit it with a little sugar, some lemon juice and make your own concentrate. Those are his directions on the program. For simple syrup you normally have equal parts sugar and water. Since I don't know what Elixir G actually tastes like I can't be exact on measurements.....I will try to find some in a store or online. But, I'm positive one can make it cheaper if it is merely a simple syrup! :)Read more

    Anita -- buy it online if you can't find it in the stores. It's reasonably priced and that way you don't have to drive all... over town looking for it! Read more

    Unable to Locate

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I was really exciting about making this refreshing drink for my family with the Chicken advocado egg rolls, but I was unable... to locate the Elixir G. I tried 3 stores. Was I missing something, was there a recipe for this within the recipe. Can someone help me because I would really like to make this.Read more
